Dominion got half now and the time value of money. Lottery winners make this choice almost every time. It's hard to fault either for cashing that check.
I think this is spot on. The PR damage from having all the top fear porn peddlers having to admit they lied and caused a riot would (hopefully) tank their business. Now they can say it was ambiguous deep state blah blah words to keep their customers tuned in. (All media companies are garbage before the hotheads chime in with 4th grader logic of “they do it too”)
